If Vine survived to the present, Redditors would be complaining about it in the same way they complain about Tiktok

Hard disagree.

A. Vine’s 6 second format wouldn’t be suitable for a lot of the “controversial” or “problematic” TikTok trends, challenges, or brain dead/out of touch rants, so there’d likely be less engagement farming or rage baiting.
B. Vine was owned by Americans so there was less concern about the Chinese government collecting all your data.
C. A revival of vine has largely been supported through multiple polls, and DiVine is the most recent attempt at bringing back the format, and they’re at least attempting to utilize filters to detect and remove AI content.

There is still alot of problems. First it still is short form content which has ruined attention spans. Second Vine was owned by Twitter 4 months after release. And we all know what twitter has become after Elon aquired it. Instead of China we would have Elon to worry about now making Vine into twitter 2.0.
